[R] Reading multiple line from a JSON formatted file

[Shelby McIntyre]

Below is R code that successfully reads the first line of a JSON file (attached). 
However, it is supposed to read 5 lines of the file, not just one.  What is the 
wrong?

>json_data <- fromJSON(paste(readLines(json_file,n=5), collapse=""))
